Meanwhile, the iPad already likely has more apps than the Palm Pre, too. As of last night, there were already roughly 3,300 iPad apps available for download, according to Lazard Capital analyst Colin Sebastian. During Palm's earnings call last month, the company said it had "over 2,000" apps available for its WebOS App Catalog. Unless that number has since skyrocketed, the iPad appears to be out in front.

On one hand, that's because it was relatively easy for developers to port their iPhone apps over to the iPad. But on the other hand, WebOS's super-simple HTML- and CSS-based app architecture was supposed to make it easy to develop zillions of apps for WebOS devices, too. That simply hasn't happened.
